Hi everyone, the normal life is coming back day by day. We are now waiting for the epidemic to be over. In the last difficult time, I have read some articles about the life of expats in Vietnam. There has been someone being in difficulties due to no job, no money. It was not because they were lack of experience or quality, it was because of the difficult time that the whole world is being through at present. For those who have just come to Vietnam and have not found a suitable job yet, I hope this post about job recruitment sites in Vietnam can support you in your career in Vietnam.

And here are the most popular sites for expat jobs in Vietnam:

Vietnamwork is the most popular site for local recruiters and candidates. For the first time, I thought that Vietnamwork is only useful for Vietnamese people who want to work for Vietnamese companies. However, at a time of finding jobs, I found some recruitment information even from some Chinese banks. From that moment, my purpose was turned into finding jobs from foreign recruiters and I recognized that there have been many job recruitments for expats living in Vietnam.

In this site, you can search by the types of job you want in relations to the fields such as HR, doctors, sales, insurrance, real estate, stock, law... You can search by location (for example: Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang...), so you can find job in whichever province in Vietnam you want to work in. You can also look for jobs by salary and position you want. You can type the level of salary as well as the position (manager, senior or junior...), the search mode can help you.

Besides, the recruiters can also find you and contact to you if you upload your CV which is suitable to them. In this case, maybe it is also similar to Linkedin.

If you have been familiar with Linkedin, don't worry because in Vietnam, the recruiters also use Linkedin to look for candidates and by contrast, candidates also use it to find jobs. However, the popularity of this site is less than Vietnamwork. Normaly, the HR recruiters who are hired from the companies as a recruitment service will contact to you for the information of recruitments, which is often is urgent cases.

Finally, one of the useful ways is to join the groups on Facebook. There are many groups which can help expats in Vietnam. For example: Hanoi Massive Community is a group where expats and locals help expats in Hanoi. This group has more than 5000 members. Besides, Internship & Jobs in Vietnam is also a group with professional recruitment information.

Above is the two groups that is the most useful as I think. However, I don't think that I know everything. If you have more information about other groups or sites for expat jobs in Vietnam, don't hesitate to leave your comments below.

If you are working in office, you are in the quarantine time and need shipping something to eat; or you have just come to Vietnam and do not know where to have interesting Vietnamese food, don't worry because this post may help you by using the food apps with only some click on your phone.

There has been more and more apps being built to serve your needs. I can introduce to you the following apps which are favored by the locals because of the variety of food types, the cheap price and the popularity of the restaurants which are showed clearly from these apps.

1. Now 

Now (formerly known as Delivery Now) is a member of the site Foody.com. While Foody.com is the largest social media for sharing and evaluating the restaurant in Vietnam, Now is the most popular e-commerce platform providing the service for shopping food online in Vietnam. Whenever thinking about getting food without going out, almost everyone will access to Now as the first choice.

Here are some useful features of Now which satisfied many people:

- The search mode of Now can search for the nearest restaurant from your position. For example, if you search for KFC with the needs of being shipped one serving, Now can show you a list of KFC restaurants in order from nearest to farthest so that you can choose the nearest and of course the time to wait for the shipper will be the shortest.

- You are wondering if you should choose this kind of food or this restaurant, you can check from the star and the comments that have been evaluated by the former people who had experience in enjoying that food from that restaurant. However, because this app is popular with Vietnamese people, it may be a difficulty for an expat due to the comments by Vietnamese language.

- After ordering, you can check the position of the shipper from the map and and Now will notify to you how long the shipper will come to your position.

- Now includes more Vietnamese options than any other apps.

- The price is very cheap, and it becomes cheaper because sometimes you are given some discount codes of free ship codes.

- Now is integrated with Shopee (another e-commerce platform for shopping everything in Vietnam), which makes the shopping online become more useful.

A disadvantage of this app may be the language. I only find English and Vietnamese, no idea about other languages.

2. Grabfood

Grab is an app providing shipping and transport service. If Grab Bike, Grab Car or Grab Taxi can take you wherever you want, Grab Express can support you to ship your goods, so Grab Food can help you find food and bring it to you exactly like Now that I've mentioned above. And all these features are integrated in only one app - Grab.

The way of using Grab Food is similar to the way of using Now, which satisfied me. But there are still some differences:

- Grab has fewer options.

- I received fewer discount code.

- But Grab may be cheaper and faster, sometimes.

Anyway, both of these apps satisfy me and almost every locals. You can download both of them and make a comparison to find which is more convenient to you.

I hope you will find them useful!
